Beijing Subway Line 22 Opens From Hongmiao to Pinggu
DELAYED12 months late40% CONFIDENCEEnglish Wikipedia[1] says the line "will open between Hongmiao and Pinggu in late 2026", and the August 2026 report it cites says the line 年底基本具备开通条件 ("will basically meet the conditions for opening by the end of the year"), so the day stands for late 2026.
Line 22, built as the Pinggu line, is the first inter-provincial metro line between Beijing and Hebei: 81.82 km and 22 stations from Dongdaqiao in Chaoyang through Tongzhou and Sanhe in Hebei out to Pinggu, using 8-car Type D trains at up to 160 km/h. Empty trial running between Hongmiao and Pinggu began on 25 August 2026; Jintai Xizhao and Dongdaqiao are held back to 2029.
